It was something I remember being funny when I played on SoD; I’d had an enchanter who I’d worked to get most of the enchanting recipes on, but I couldn’t actually enchant my own main character’s gear.
I know at some point they add the ability to make scrolls (Wrath, I think?), but it’s something I sort of feel like maybe that wouldn’t be the worst thing to introduce a bit earlier for Anniversary? It’s obviously taking some liberties from a purely vanilla experience, and I feel like until Inscription shows up as its own tradeskill, maybe they could just toss similar scrolls onto a vendor, but “enchanting” a scroll makes it account-bound, just to try and have minimal change?
Well, they made significant changes already; dual-spec is a monumental change to the game. People like it, yes, but that doesn’t mean it isn’t a massive change.
Vellum. The “paper” or scroll used enchanting vellum which was sold or could be produced through Inscription. The ability to store an enchant on the vellum was Wrath technically as it was a “systems” patch for Cataclysm but not launch itself.
Not sure how far Blizzard intends to take Anniversary. If it makes it to Wrath cool - they can put it in then. I’m just here for Anni because the wife is hoping for TBC Era.
I don’t think it’s a huge change… being able to enchant your own alts is great. And instead of enchanters having to hang out in trade chat advertising their wares and having to compete with bots they can put enchants on the ah.
